all relevant MX records point to non-existent hosts

[teedee]

I am getting error

all relevant MX records point to non-existent hosts

when sending mail to an address from either a mail account on the same server or a remote server

When I check dnsstuff all appears to be ok, and dig reveals

# dig luxury.ee mx

mail	MX	10	
luxury.ee.	TXT	"v=spf1 a mx ip4:80.235.105.130 ?all"

Any ideas what could be causing mails to fail ?

I don't know about you but I can't figure it out without seeing the real information.

Jeff,

I have the same error.
I'm trying to send mail to a locally hosted domain, but they use their own in house mail server. MX records points to their IP. Sometimes, more and more, I get a retuning message from my Mailer-Daemon: "all relevant MX records point to non-existing hosts".

However if I check my dns MX points to mail.domain.com and that A-record points to their IP. If I do "telnet mail.domain.com 25" the server replies as it should.

What can I check to try and fix this?

And what part of I can't figure it out without seeing the real information do you not understand ?

Real info

Maybe you could explain what real information you need?
I'm sorry if we're not all so smart as you !
No need to answer so angry.

BTW I found my problem. I'm using another server as the main dns server. That one was correctly configured, but their was a problem in de MX record on the server that spit out the error.

real information

I really don't think you mail server is mail.domain.com. So therefore we cannot do any diagnostics on your problem.

If you go to an auto mechanic for help on your car you don't say the make of your car is Ford when really it is a Honda. You have to give the mechanic real information about your car not fake information.

The same is true when dealing with domains and ip addresses. If anybody wants help with their specific domain or ip address we have to know what the real domain is and what the real ip address is.

If you search these forums you will find that we ask this question over and over and over and over .................

It has nothing to do with intelligence. It has to do with the fact that we are not mind readers. And Jeff was not angry. That is why he put the at the end. Angry would have been

OK. That was a really clear answer.
Thanks for the info.
My problem was already solved, so no real info needed anymore.
